as long as your saying to hit the clear pieces with the vht then i agree completely, i think that would look great actually.

car looks really good man, and the t top conversion is a must in my book. on a nice day cruising with the tops out is amazing

With the black wheels I think a berger panel would look decent-

And also going with the black theme I also agree a light tint on the side lights would look good- and not going totally tinted will match the color of the car pretty good IMO

But go with what YOU want..you have to drive it everyday. Don't change it for a bunch of people you prol won't ever meet..lol

Dont kid yourself, I've met plenty of people from this site

I'm looking to change up the appearance and am open to suggestions. Its cheaper than buying a different car

Not a fan of berger panels unless its a white car. I've got some transparent black tape at work, I'm going to tape up the turn signals, markers, and tail lights and see how they look. If I like it I'll spray em, otherwise I prefer the clear.

I REALLY want a center mount exhaust, but dont want to put the ground effects on with it.

Whew. I was hoping you would vote against the Berger panel. I don't like them 9 times out of 10, and it's more difficult to change back than blacked out marker lights.

You could probably get them to look really good with some window tint and a heat gun, and then you wouldn't need to spray them. Another advantage to the tint is that the coverage will be consistent.

The orange looked equally bad



I made all the lights clear so they would match. I would REALLY like to see what a clear tail light assembly would look like.
To tell you the truth i like it better stock looking.....thats just me tho

I think a nice beige leather looks great on seats of any colored car. But then that’s just my personal opinion; purple and red?? Nah…too “pop-arty”!

there are plenty of t-top cars out, more than hardtops, why waste a good hardtop when you can find a cheaper t-top.. prolly do a straight up trade.
